Ambassador Abayomi Nurain Mumuni, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has issued a stern warning to former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
Mumuni cautioned El-Rufai not to drag Lagosians into his current predicament, condemning his recent remarks that those who worked for the APC were sidelined while political positions were given to “Lagos boys”.
Mumuni’s statement comes in response to El-Rufai’s allegations, which have sparked controversy within the party. The warning aims to prevent further escalation and protect the reputation of Lagosians.
Speaking to news men on Saturday Mumuni had this to say: “One needs to caution Mallam El-Rufai about his reckless statements. Although we were together in the CPC before the formation of the APC, he should not drag Lagosians into his unfounded claims. Those he refers to as ‘Lagos Boys’ are not even the legit sons of the soil.
“They are individuals from other states who have merely lived in Lagos and remained loyal to the President for years. Hence, El-Rufai should be mindful of his utterances. I have no issue with him speculating about the APC or the Tinubu government, but he should leave Lagos out of his rhetoric.
“Some of us who are bonafide Lagosians and worked tirelessly for the President’s election have not been appointed to any positions. I was in the campaign crew and personally procured equipment from A to Z for the security committee where I served.
“Despite my contribution to the success of Asiwaju’s victory, you will not see me parading the presidency like some people. If the President finds me suitable for an appointment, I would gladly serve, but that time has not come yet. So, I will not allow a stranger to take me across my father’s compound.”
